One week post PVP and I void like a thirty five year old with minimal
discomfort.

To those who have had more than one PVP

1) How long before the second had to be performed?

2) Was the first one successful at first or were there complications?

6 months

Apparently very successful; swift recovery (was on train home 24
hours after the op).
However, after 4-5 months the flow rate had diminished. In the
2nd PVP he took more away around the bladder neck, and removed some
scar tissue. All is fine now.

There are two possible reasons why the 1st PVP did not remove enough:
(1) I had asked him to try to avoid retro ejaculation.
(2) He found 2 mini-tumours in the bladder and removed them, thus
perhaps reducing the time available.
